Debate Night Thoughts

I can’t stop thinking about the debate. I’m still in awe with regards to the performance of the President, not so much when it comes to his opponent. It reminded me of how my 11 and 12 year olds settle some of their disputes: the 12 year old is speaking and if the 11 year old doesn’t like what is being said, he starts to make noises or talk over his sister. I get that he is passionate and wants everyone to know it, but if he can tone it down a little during the debate, that would be great. The American people want to hear what each candidate has to offer. We want to be able to draw our own conclusions on who to vote for, and to hear their proposed plans to move this nation forward.

Speaking for myself, I want to know what each person wants to bring to the table for the entire nation. I want to hear how life will be better for us as a nation once someone is declared president. I’m tired of hearing the divisiveness. I am ready to hear and eventually see how their plans will benefit us as a whole. 

Overall, these next two debates will hopefully be more informative and with less interruptions. Both parties will hopefully outline their plans and we, the people, will be able to make a clear choice on who we want to lead us for the next 4 years. Hopefully the next debate will be free of name-calling too.
